In addition, by going into Iraq and Afghanistan, we encircled the largest supporter of terror, Iran. all of this was spot on.
I just wish we had prosecuted the war more harshly against the Jihadists and those who support them. They need to have their will broken...totally...by unrestricted war like we broke the Nazis and Imperialists IMHO.
Having siad that, Bush waged the war aggressively and direclty and will be remembered well in history for so doing...for taking the fight to the enemy and plainly calling them the same. His statement, "you are either with us, or you are with the terrorists," was the kind of clear, direct talk and challenge we needed...and still do.
The bail outs were and are a travesty. Particulalry when the very people at th eroot of the problem, the socialist democrats, were the ones calling for it the loudest and who have used it not to help the nation, but to furthrer their own miserable agendas and political careers. Nothing more or less.
Have a GREAT New Year, my friend...I look forward to reading any of your new work.
I have started a sequal, aftr a LOT of reqeusts to do so, of The Dragon's Fury Series. It is set 150+ years in the future from the end of the Dragon's Fury Series and will be, "The United States of Earth and the Battle for Known Space."
You HAVE to read Rove's book in tandem with Bush's. Rove spends about two pages lamenting the fact that they did not defend the decision to go to war and fight the WMD charges from 2004-2006 as the worst mistake of his tenure.
